These attacks had caused casualties. The perpetrators consist of one family. Which the results of investigation said there were sixperpetrators. But this time, the public concern is that suicide bombings have involved children. Both boys and girls. How is the chronology of suicide bombing action? What are the general information about the daily lives of children who have been involved in this terrorist attack? What are the initial analysis of suicide bombings that have involved children?

Secondly, general information about the daily activities of children involved in acts of terror seems normal. Thirdly, the answer why should children be included be involved in suicide bombing by their parents is still mystery.This study reinforces the concept of Paul Gill (2007) about the importance of a multi-dimensional approach to analyzing suicide bombings.
